I used to simply not care either way. Then I came upon a simple reason why weed should remain illegal:

Illegal weed keeps potheads out of my face.

So long as weed is illegal, potheads will find nice, out of the way places to indulge their habit where I don't have to look at them or smell them. Especially smell them. There was one street corner by my high school where alll the potheads used to get together and light up at break or after school... you could smell them across the damn street. There is NOTHING that smells worse than pot. Nothing. I'd rather stick my face in a pile of shit or take a nice whif of vomit than smell pot fumes. Cigarretes are bad enough- I can't stand to hang around NORMAL smokers while they're puffing away.

Banning public use wouldn't be much of a solution either...unlike normal cigs, pot odor doesn't just hang around the user. It spreads. Out the window, out of the yard, into the non-smoking section of the restaurant, whatever. It would still be disruptive to passers by on the street.*boldface for emphasis

Unless there are also ordinances passed that ban use of pot except inside private residences with the doors and windows all closed, it is still too close to the public.


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
